fox: alpha beta (beta)
I'm looking at a criagslist craigslist job ad (for a technical writer position) that enumerates a variety of writing, editing, and proofreading tasks the selectee will perform -- and the ad is so laden with what I would consider really embarrassing spelling mistakes that I sort of wonder if it's a test.  If I write in with my resume, contact information, salary requirements, etc., should I also include a markup of their text?  (Subtext:  see how much you need me?)  Or, you know, just alert them that mistakes are there and I'd be happy to show them where if they'd like?

I swear, if I see one more thing about working with clients to affect [sic] changes ...

I have:
  • sent my resume to [livejournal.com profile] thyesc
  • had a minor meltdown over the lack of positive response from any of my job applications
  • applied to another gig for which I'm exactly qualified but will probably hear only "That ain't it, kid" (program specialist at the NEH)
  • reassured myself, based on contents of e-mail folders, that the last time I worked at [livejournal.com profile] cmshaw's office I applied for the job the week before Thanksgiving and didn't get contacted for an interview until January 6, so the fact that I haven't heard from anyone over there in two and a half business days isn't actually the end of the world
  • registered with two more temp agencies
  • turned up the air conditioning and turned on the ceiling fan
  • fixed my second set of bookshelves, which were wobbly to a degree that made me unhappy and almost nervous (15-20° approx.)
Now I think I'll take some empty boxes down to the dumpster.  And get some cookies (from the store downstairs, not from the dumpster, I mean).
